Likely Winner:
- Since losing to Portugal in the inaugural UEFA Nations League in 2018, Italy has gone 38 games without losing.
- This will be the 35th time Italy and Spain have met. La Roja has won 12 of the past 34 games, while the Azzurri have won ten (12 draws).
- Spain, on the other hand, has only won one of their last five meetings with Italy, a 3-0 victory in a World Cup qualifier in 2017.
- Lorenzo Insigne will make his 50th appearance for Italy if he plays on Wednesday. He is the highest goal scorer for the Azzurri in the current roster, with ten goals.
- It should be a cagey game and Italy are marginal favorites considering they are playing at home.
